BCIGrand Riverkeeper Labrador Inc Encourages YOU to TAKE ACTION
Right now the federal government is reviewing environmental laws including Environmental Assessment (EA) law, the Fisheries Act, Navigation Protection Act and the National Energy Board. Many groups are in discussions with government about these laws and are also involved in this public campaign to send a clear message to government that federal environment laws must be stronger.
…
"In a written statement, the group wrote that they are demonstrating to contrast McKenna’s support for the Minamata Convention on Mercury “while the Liberal-supported Muskrat Falls Megadam threatens Indigenous people in Labrador with Methylmercury Poisoning.”
Canada ratified the Minamata Convention – a global treaty to reduce mercury emissions and to protect the environment and human health – in April.
Group spokesperson Matthew Behrens was quoted in the statement saying the group demands that McKenna take the Minamata Convention seriously “and take a stand against the methylmercury poisoning of people downstream of Muskrat Falls.”
"She must put her words into action, and compel her government to withdraw its $9.2 billion investment in Muskrat Falls unless there is 100% proof that no methylmercury poisoning will occur if the dam goes online.”"
